Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore has admitted he would be open to joining Real Madrid despite coming through the academy of rivals Barcelona.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traore, 23, spent 11 years with Barcelona but made just one appearance for their first team before moving to England initially with Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard struggled at Villa and then Middlesbrough, where often he was criticised for lacking no end product despite his intense pace and strength.<\/p>\n

Why did Adama Traore leave Barcelona? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Adama Traore was born in Barcelona and spend nearly a decade in the club’s youth system.<\/li>\n
  • He made one senior Barcelona appearance before joining Aston Villa permanently for \u20ac10m in 2015, aged 19.<\/li>\n
  • Traore expressed frustration over his lack of chances with the first-team (Mess-Suarez-Neymar dominated at the time).<\/li>\n
  • The deal included a three-year buy-back clause.<\/li>\n
  • Traore now says a “misunderstanding” caused his Barcelona exit, one conducted in “not the best manner”.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
